Hi Sandra.

It sounds like you've been having a difficult time these past few years. From what you wrote, I would say that your doctors are following the proper procedure in dealing with your recurrent urinary tract/genital infections. Since you've probably been taking many antibiotics from 2003 until now, sensitivity testing is crucial in order to pinpoint the appropriate antibiotics. Unfortunately, repeated use of antibiotics guarantees that you have developed resistance to many of them. If you continue having recurrent infections, you will someday run out of sensitive antibiotics. Ceftazidime, amikacin, and piperacillin are available only in intravenous form; there are no tablet forms. My advice is to have yourself treated until the infection is completely eradicated using any of these antibiotics.

Once you are infection-free, it is up to you to avoid contracting further infections. If you think the source is sexual contact with your husband, then at least use a condom and insist that he have himself tested and treated as well.Remind him that untreated genital infections can have long-term complications, such as damage to genital structures, which in turn can cause impotence and sterility.

As for your ecg reading, what you wrote does not give me any concrete information on what the problem is with your heart. That, plus your mention of a lung infection, makes me think that you should really be in a hospital for a few days, to treat the infections and to do further tests on your heart. I hope that you are able to find the financial resources to do all this.

Thank you for your question and good luck to you.Priscilla D. Sanchez, M.D.Medical CoordinatorOFWParaSaPamilya.com
